At this time we are pretty much set with sponsored cars. We'd love to work with you. Feel free to shoot me a PM and I will get a quote together for you. Thanks!

Yeah, I wish someone told me that these weren't compatible with anything else. I would have gotten a different fuel rail. Now everyone knows at least...

The intake will be chrome dipped or powder coated eventually. I just want my car back, so I'm not in a rush.

I've got the Coltspeed engine cover and I still haven't decided whether or not I'm going to sell it and neo-chrome the valve cover so I've held off on a fuel rail. I could always anodize or paint the fuel rail, too, if need be.

Anywho, interested to see the boost plot and spool on this turbo.

This is a vanity thread--we don't care about power!

Be careful where you send out your valve cover to be finished. Mine took 7 months. Stay local.

As for the CS engine cover... sell it. There's so much awesome stuff that that stupid JDM engine cover hides. I'm going to chrome dip my intake manifold. I just need a major wire tuck.

You're manifold will be expensive because it's not just dipping. You need to sand the casting down, polish, copper, nickel, then chrome dip.

Wire tuck will not really clean up the motor unless you go all out like I did on mine. I say we do it when you build the motor.

I have a guy that does all my chrome dipping. Let me know and I can put you in touch with him.

here is pics of the work he did on my own car:



Numbers coming as soon as Jesse breaks in the clutch.
